From Struggles to Solutions: The Inspiration Behind Calendula Healthy Hair Oil and Hair of Nature
Share
You ever just look at your life and wonder, “How did I get here?” I never imagined creating hair products and owning a successful business. Yet, here I am, doing my thing! My journey began in 2002, the year I unexpectedly lost my mom to a brain aneurysm. That same year, my hair started falling out, and I was diagnosed with alopecia areata—a hair loss condition triggered by stress. I was only 21, embarrassed, and found myself lost in a sea of ineffective hair growth products. Doctors brushed it off, saying, “It’s normal; it’ll grow back,” which only deepened my depression. Weaves and braids became my cover, but they worsened my hair loss.
Eventually, I found help, but it came at a high cost and painful scalp injections. My hair grew back thick and healthy, and I was willing to endure the pain for beauty. But as life would have it, new challenges emerged. From 2009 to 2010, I struggled with fertility, enduring back-to-back miscarriages. I decided to go natural, convinced that the chemicals in relaxers were harming my body. By the end of 2010, I was pregnant again. I stopped relaxing my hair, changed my diet, reduced my stress, and made it to my second trimester. Joy turned to fear when I passed out on a flight, ending up on bed rest and labeled high-risk. The stress returned, and so did the hair loss.
This time, the option of steroid shots wasn’t available; it was health over beauty. As a Black woman who takes pride in her appearance, I knew I couldn't just watch my hair fall out. So, I created a powerful hair oil infused with onion, garlic, and essential oils. In six weeks, I saw peach fuzz; in three months, my bald spot was gone. I thought my hair troubles were behind me, but life had more lessons in store.
I delivered a healthy baby girl, and life seemed perfect until I returned to work as a flight attendant. My daughter developed dandruff, and within weeks, her edges were gone. A so-called kid-friendly product caused her cradle cap, and her anxiety from my absence led to her pulling out her hair. The potent oil I’d created was too strong for her sensitive scalp. I needed something gentler yet effective—something soothing for her itchy scalp that could stimulate hair growth without irritation. And that’s when the Calendula Healthy Hair Oil was born.
The Calendula Healthy Hair Oil is a blend of conditioning oils, a soothing infusion of calendula flower and tea tree essential oil, and a boost of circulation to those sleepy follicles—all gentle enough for even the most sensitive scalps. Within two months, her hair started growing back, catching the attention of friends and family. They wanted to know the secret behind her transformation. I was overwhelmed and scared to admit it was my creation—I didn’t know the first thing about making hair products or starting a business. But with the support of amazing friends who urged me to “Just do it,” I took the leap. Here we are, ten years later, still thriving with the Calendula Healthy Hair Oil as our #1 best seller.
